Igshaan Adams: Not Working (Working Title)

Oct 20, 2022 - Apr 23, 2023

鈥楴ot Working (Working Title)鈥 is a studio residency by Igshaan Adams, part of Zeitz MOCAA鈥檚 ongoing Atelier program. Adams, who works collaboratively and communally to produce increasingly complex and large-scale works, will use the residency to reconsider the pathways and routes of his practice. A starting point for the artist鈥檚 intention during his period in the museum, is to re-evaluate his work that presents in different forms, and to re-look at, re-visit and re-work art works that never had the opportunity to be seen outside of the studio.

鈥楴ot Working (Working Title)鈥 reflects the open and experimental nature of the Atelier that Adams and his studio team will work within over the next six months, as well as a reflection of the works that have been reconsidered and given a second life. As is the nature of most art production, the systems and modes of its making remain invisible, and Adams intends to use the Atelier as an opportunity to foreground the people, practices and networks that are so intricately part of his work. In addition to bringing back into the light projects that did not quite 鈥榳ork鈥 and that lingered in storage in his studio, Adams is setting out to also explore the movement and dance traditions of Namaqualand further, bringing performative aspects into his work.
